A Helping Hands Christmas

December 2022 was a wonderful month full of events for Helping Hands. Our distribution teams set out each week and delivered hundreds of bags of food to our neighbors in need. Not only did the bags have food, but also socks thanks to our very successful Socktober sock drive! On the second Saturday of December, our volunteers came together and packed food. Helping Hands provided cookies, donuts, and Christmas music as our volunteers worked. During our packing event, we had our annual toy drive, Toys from the Heart. Members of our community donated their lightly used toys to give to children who needed a little magic this Christmas season. We also had a special guest, the man himself, Mr. Claus! He brought cheer to our day and helped gather toys. Another wonderful blessing came from Bolder Electric. They donated 10 brand new bikes. The sounds of joy and laughter from the children warmed our hearts.  We cannot thank our supporters and volunteers enough for making December 2022 one to remember.

Rainey Days and Saturdays

Rain or Shine, Helping Hands volunteers meet to pack groceries for our Neighbors in Need.

It rained this Saturday morning so the Helping Hands set-up crew moved our packing line to a near-by covered area and the volunteers came to get the job done. It was a special day and many new friendships were made. God Blessed our Neighbors in Need, our volunteers and the community that day.
